Quotes[]
- Castle: (recording) "Hey there, buddy. It's me. And by me, I mean you. And if you are seeing this, then you are an idiot, because you are trying to figure out what happened to you in Los Angeles. What you discovered about Bracken's partnership with LokSat is too dangerous to pursue."
- Castle: "LokSat? I knew about LokSat?"
- Castle: (recording) "I am barely living proof. I was shot trying to figure out where LokSat's plane was landing tonight. I barely escaped without being identified. I am erasing our mind for a reason... To protect Kate. 'Cause if she found out, then she will die. So, do not tell her what you discovered in Los Angeles, for her sake."
- Castle: "Do you know what this means?"
- Hayley: "Yes. You tracked LokSat. If we can cross-reference airports and identify what airplane landed the night you were shot, then we have a real chance of finding out who LokSat really is."
- Castle: "No, no. It means what happened was my fault. The murders of Beckett's former AG team... in trying to protect Beckett from LokSat, I inadvertently sentenced them all to death."
